Gone but never ever forgotten.
We shared many memories together but this one evening holds a special place in my heart. It was October 17. 2006 The Air Canada Centre at 7:30 pm. It went down as one of the best nights of my life.
You called me up and asked me where I was and I said I’m at home. He said get in your car and get down to the Air Canada Center now. I said what’s going on and you said, “You’re going to see Barbra tonight”. Long story short I was in front of the Air Canada center in 30 minutes from Humber Bay. It was a spectacular evening. I couldn’t believe we were 10 rows back and on the aisle with unobstructed views. I think you every year thereafter on that anniversary date. You, my friend, have always been a blessing.
Your birthday is coming up. We are one day apart. Mine is April 1. I am so sad life cut it short for you. I’m sad for your sister Susan who cherished you. I’m sad for all of your friends who miss you still. I’m happy for all the good times we shared especially those nights at Phantom of the opera with the best seats in the house.
Until we meet again dear Devin.
Love. David Smith, Toronto

DEVIN! My dear friend from WCI. Ian and I went to school with him and feel such sorrow at his passing.
Devin and I ate lunch together throughout high school, along with Linda, Rita and Martha. He was my special friend, a good listener to all my teenage problems. He took me to the prom (last minute!) when I was stood up by "that guy". Thank you Devin for being there for me.
He so enjoyed performing in the school plays. Ian and I saw him in the "Phantom of the Opera.". It was so good that he continued with his singing as he had a nice song voice. He will be missed by all who his life touched.

I am so sorry to learn of Devin’s passing. We worked together at Camp Tawingo many years ago, and mostly I remember his dry wit on the one hand, and his genuine caring nature on the other. I have not spoken to Devin in many years but that doesn’t lessen the impact he had on me, nor reduce the respect I had for him. I am truly and very sorry for your loss. Terry Beck. West Chester, PA

DEVIN EVERLASTING
By
Douglas Von Edelmann
In the quiet of the night when all was calm, I took my leave
I turned my thoughts and compass from the ones I do bereave
The shroud of pain and darkness now for bliss I do exchange
And cast my eyes on verdant hills high from a mountain range.
Since I could never know what somber end lay in my path
I yearned for an adventure, while still time, despite life’s wrath
Across divides and mountains, held my hands to touch the sky
They’re cold, worn, and tired from the climb where I lay.
I came into this world, a hopeful boy who found my way
With tender cares and youths desire that time turned hair to grey
Between the years and decades, I found friends to keep me strong
For laughter over loneliness would be my journey’s song.
The baritone inside me was my instrument of art
From Waterloo to Wellesley Street my voice would play its part
Through wonder, mirth, and bleakness I ever found the strength to sing
In theaters and concerts where my tone would rise and ring.
Such learning through life’s lessons with the risks we sometimes take
Clarified my thoughts, allowed my mind to then forsake
The brokenness we often feel from wounds of love that hurt
I shed my cloak of Armour, found my grail, I could assert.
What is death, but a passage to a place where I exist
In vast, continued progress like an evergreen in mist
Will ne’er forget or wander from these memories so fond
Between our souls forever, an enduring, timeless bond.
Let us honor our achievements for as family we have been
I celebrate life’s work well done with medals I did win
They’re hung with care upon my heart that still keeps time and beat
Embracing this completion knowing once more we will meet.
And so, I leave my gifts of memories to not erase
With gratitude, treasure me, and cherish our embrace
Farewell is not forever; constant change is ours to face
Confront each trial, for I am here in nature’s constant grace.
I am the wind and water, hear and feel me as I sleep
Take comfort I am with you in each dawn, so do not weep
Be mindful of my presence, promise never to forget
My early frost in autumn ended calm with no regret.

We worked at Camp Tawingo together and after that, got to witness his talents at Phantom. We had the extra bonus of visiting him and his cast mates for a behind-the-stage look at this amazing stage. Loved his sense of humour and sharp wit and will always remember his bellowing voice. XXOO
